Find the angle between the line and the planes 10x + 2y – 11z = 3.
Given :
Equation of line :
Equation of plane : 10x + 2y – 11z = 3
To Find : angle between line and plane
Formulae :
1) Parallel vector to the line :
If equation of the line is then,
Vector parallel to the line is given by,
2) Normal vector to the plane :
If equation of the plane is ax + by + cz = d then,
Vector normal to the plane is given by,
3) Angle between a line and a plane :
If Ө is a angle between the line and the plane
, then
Where, is vector parallel to the line and
is the vector normal to the plane.
Answer :
For given equation of line,
Parallel vector to the line is
For given equation of plane,
10x + 2y – 11z = 3
normal vector to the plane is
Therefore, angle between given line and plane is
